And now I can say those infamous and annoying words, "Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE" ๐Ÿคฆ and of course.. yet another new and slightly-annoying phrase, "Link is in the bio" ๐Ÿ˜ƒ and it is!

As much as I love lasercutting, one of the first t As much as I love lasercutting, one of the first tools that really blew my mind in woodshop back in high school was the lathe. Back then I just wanted to make mini-bats and bongs, but that class really inspired me. I made this mechanical pencil a few years ago and I can't help but think that I'll get back on the lathe someday soon! I'd love to make some more pens and pencils.. Maybe even use the rotary tool on the laser for some engravings.. Hmmmm ๐Ÿ˜€ #woodworking #tucsonmaker #tucsonartist #woodmechanicalpencil

For lasercutter operators a good air assist is cri For lasercutter operators a good air assist is critical for clean and deep cuts. Usually some kind of air is blasted through the nozzle to clear away any smoke and debris from the burning from the frickin' laser beam! ๐Ÿ”ฅ I found a way to connect a cheap pancake-style air compressor to upgrade from the pump that came with my machine and now there are ZERO smoke marks left on the surface after cutting! DM me if you need tips! Now now can I get even more power out of this? Next is new mirrors! #diy #diylaser #lasershop #airassist #woodworking #lasercutting #laserengraving

For anyone operating an air pump in their shop, wh For anyone operating an air pump in their shop, whether it's for laser air assist, airbrushing, or even pneumatic tools, consider hanging your pump/compressor!
